Maven cannot really guess by itself if the tests have to be re-executed or not. Take for example the Clover plugin. It MUST re-execute the tests because it executes them on clovered sources and not on the original sources. If Maven were to execute the tests only once the clover plugin would report 0% coverage.
Question is: why aren't the clovered sources the only ones getting executed? I know there are reasons - running modified test may affect the results etc. but frankly speaking - how often is that really a problem? Would be nice to have the *option* to run them separately. <snip/>
All in all, I'd love tests to be executed only once but I have no idea how to make it work from all angles.
At least you agree ...but that does not sound promising. I would have thought this had been taken into consideration on the core design :-/ cheers -- Torsten --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
